Senior Saahil Nagar scored the only goal of the game, in the second half, as the 16th seed in the South Jersey Boys Soccer Coaches Cup, stunned previously unbeaten St. Augustine, 1-0 in Richland. The Hermits are the top seed in the tournament and ranked No. 7 in the NJ.com Top 20.

Nagar has scored just four goals on the season but his latest marked the second time in four days that he scored the only goal (against Moorestown) in a Lenape win. Lenape advances to a quarterfinal road game against the winner of Saturday’s game between Cedar Creek and West Deptford.

Lenape (10-4-1 overall) matched its most wins in a season since 2018 and is making its first appearance in the Coaches Cup since 2014 and first win since 2012. Evan Gonzalez earned the shutout for Lenape.

St. Augustine opened the season with 13 wins, outscoring its opponents, 47-4. The Hermits hadn’t allowed a goal since Sept. 28, a span of five games.

13-Delsea 1, 4-Rancocas Valley 1

(Delsea advances in PKs 4-3)

Junior Gavin Reissek scored a second-half goal to force extra time and Delsea prevailed 4-3 in a penalty-kick shootout in Eastampton to advance to a quarterfinal next week. Upset-minded Delsea will travel meet to the winner of Saturday’s Palmyra-Clearview first-round game.

Delsea (11-2-1) needed seven rounds of PKs to secure the win.

Rancocas Valley fell to 10-3-2 on the season.

11-Ocean City 3, 6-Eastern 1

Ocean City continued the trend of lower seeds prevailing in first-round action with a pair of second-half goals to break a 1-all halftime deadlock in Voorhees. The Red Raiders (10-3) will meet the winner of Saturday’s Kingsway-Shawnee opening-round game.

David Obando scored on a feed by Demi Garita to provide Eastern’s part of the first-half tie. The Vikings are 10-4-1.

The Lenape Valley Patriots will head out on the road to face off against the Sussex County Tech at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. The matchup should be an exciting one, as these teams are ranked near one another in New Jersey (Lenape Valley is ranked 175th, while Sussex County Tech is ranked 171st).

The third road contest was the charm for Lenape Valley, as they earned their first road win of the season. They came out on top against Wallkill Valley by a score of 23-14 on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Sussex County Tech had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 28.3 points), and they went ahead and made it four on Friday. They didn’t even let Kittatinny Regional onto the board and left with a 14-0 win.

Sussex County Tech got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Brian Gruber out in front who rushed for 153 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.3 yards per carry. Gruber is on a roll when it comes to rushing yards, as he’s now rushed for 100 or more in the last three games he’s played. Andrew Baker also helped out as he racked up 102 rushing yards.

The team’s defense also helped out by holding Kittatinny Regional to a paltry 249 yards. A big part of that defensive dominance came down to Sussex County Tech’s ability to keep the quarterback under pressure: the team laid him out four times before it was all said and done. Leading the way was Gavin Mericle and his two sacks.

Their wins bumped Lenape…

For expedience’s sake: the Federation of Aboriginal Nations of the Americas is FANA.

The SandHill Band of Lenape and Cherokee Indians( NY, NJ. PA) is SandHill.

Returning again to the First Annual Meshanicut Cultural Placemaking Confestival Weekend held on the weekend of August 17th, 2023 in Providence Rhode Island, where a series of historical moments occurred for the member Tribes of FANA.  I was honored to attend that weekend.

(Please read the article titled FANA’s 1st ANNUAL Meshanicut Cultural Placemaking Confestival in Providence, Rhode Island published Monday, Sept 11, 2023, to read about the purpose for that weekend)

A historic moment occurred when FANA,  its Allies, and the Representatives of the Saamaka Tribe signed the FANA

For those of you who are not familiar with the Saamaka Tribe allow me to deviate from the Treaty to tell you a little about them,  The Saamaka Tribe is one of six Maroon groups and they inhabit the Upper-Suriname River Region in a country called Suriname.  They are the descendants of captured Africans who escaped from the Dutch Colonial plantations and settled deep within the rain forests of South America. There are some Saamaka who live in French Guiana which borders Suriname.

They have inhabited this area since the late 1600s and through the early part of the 1700s when the escaped slaves settled there. They are descendants of captured West and Central African people who were loaded onto slave ships and had been sold to Europeans in Suriname during the above dates.

Coming back to the present day. I have discovered that many of the contracts and Treaties can be rather complicated to understand.  So I am going to make the explanation simple.

The recent treaty establishes the ability for FANA and the Saamaka to develop trade routes for…

DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (WPVI) — Never Broken: Visualizing Lenape Histories presents new Indigenous perspectives on historic events in early America.

“We look at the way that art can shape and convey stories about history and identity throughout time,” says Dr. Laura Turner Igoe, the Gerry and Marguerite Lenfest Chief Curator at the Michener Art Museum.

“Showing it here, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, holds extra meaning,” says Joe Baker, who is an enrolled member of the Delaware Tribe of Indians.

“This is our ancestral land, so this exhibit is really about a homecoming,” he says.

Baker is the Co-Curator of Never Broken: Visualizing Lenape Histories, as well as the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Lenape Center in Manhattan, New York.

He’s also an artist who made pieces for the exhibition, like the Big House Post, made from a Bigtooth Aspen tree.

“The Big House ceremony was the principal religion of the Lenape,” he says.

Three other Indigenous artists are featured.

Holly Wilson uses sculptures to tell her story with a piece she calls “Bloodline.”

Wilson says she originally created it trying to prove her son’s lineage.

“Each of these logs represents a generation of my family,” she says.

Ahchipaptunhe, a modern native artist, created paintings “made in response to historic Lenape ceramics and baskets,” according to Dr. Igoe.

Ahchipaptunhe says the four works he created are “based on fire, water, earth and breath.”

“From the idea of the life that’s put into the pottery,” he says.

Artist Nathan Young reexamines the Walking Purchase of 1737 in his sound and video installation.

“I really don’t know what things were like for them,” says Young of his ancestors.

However, he says that’s what he would like people to think about, “being faced with being forced to leave,” when viewing his work.

“The exhibition is really intended to be a conversation,” says Baker. “It’s about really bringing back our contemporary voice to…

As Philadelphia prepares to celebrate its third Indigenous Peoples Day, several monuments, statues, and commemorations of explorer Christopher Columbus remain throughout the city.

Despite a recent national movement to remove or recast them, the U.S. still had at least 149 monuments honoring the Italian explorer, per a 2021 audit from local art and history studio Monument Lab. 

It’s a subject of intense debate, in Philly and elsewhere, as Columbus is held by some Italian Americans as a symbol of cultural pride, and seen by others as representative of the genocide and violent human rights abuses perpetrated against Indigenous peoples in the Americas. 

There are not many monuments in Philadelphia to the Lenape people, the original inhabitants of the region, and scholars say many that do exist are based on inaccurate stereotypes. The Tedyuscung statue in Wissahickon Valley, for example, wears a Western Plains headdress rather than the traditional clothing used by the Lenape people, as does “The Medicine Man” statue in East Fairmount Park. 

Members of the Lenape Nation say more education and honoring of the contemporary communities is an important step in reconciling historical gaps in representation. 

Confronting the continued presence of Columbus in public spaces is part of that reckoning, local Indigenous leaders say — while some of Philly’s Italian American residents remain adamant Columbus remains an important figure who represents the discrimination Italian American immigrants faced after arriving in the U.S. some four hundred years after him.

Here’s a look at the most prominent markers to Christopher Columbus in Philadelphia, and an update on efforts to change them.

Columbus statue at Marconi Plaza

Perhaps the most well-known of these monuments in Philly, the 147-year-old marble Christopher Columbus statue in Marconi Plaza appears here to stay, at least for now.

West Point

Sept. 3, 2023

(Federation of Aboriginal Nations of the Americas- FANA.  SandHill Band of Lenape and Cherokee Indians [NY, NJ. PA] – SandHill)

Normally over the Labor Day weekend, I would relax with family.  However, this past Labor Day had found me doing something entirely different.  

A group of FANA representatives were invited to participate in the 62nd Annual Memorial Celebration commemorating the Buffalo Soldiers that would be held at the Buffalo Soldiers Monument located at West Point on September 3, 2023.

FANA’s Minister of International Affairs, Principal Chief Dr. Ronald Yonaguska Holloway of the SandHill Band of Lenape and Cherokee Indians (NY, NJ. PA); FANA member, Chief Joel Tureygua Rosario Tapia; FANA’s Director of Indigenous Affairs and Cultural Outreach to the United Nations, Ms. Maria Lorena Cosme; SandHill Tribal Council Member Carrie Jones, FANA’s Director of Visual Media and Digital Content, Norris Branham; SandHill Tribal Council Member Carrie Jones, and I attended the Buffalo Soldiers memorial.

Now why is this so important?  It is the first time that West Point recognized an Aboriginal  Federation and invited FANA’s Minister of International Affairs, Principal Chief Dr. Ronald Yonaguska Holloway of the SandHill, and a FANA delegation to attend the memorial service.  Principal Chief Holloway was invited to speak at the memorial service.  He was also asked to assist in laying a wreath in front of the memorial.

We were warmly greeted and the Cadets were very respectful to our delegation.  The Chiefs were escorted to their seats in the front row, while the rest of us sat behind them.

Permit me to deviate slightly from the Buffalo Soldiers.  It should be mentioned at this time that both Principal Chief Dr. Ronald Yonaguska Holloway and Chief Joel Tureygua Rosario Tapia are veterans and that indigenous people…
